St. Martin's Bridge

The Bridge of St. Martin was built in the thirteenth century and restored in the fourteenth century after the central span of the bridge was destroyed during the war between Pedro I the Cruel and his half-brother Enrique. The bridge has five spans: an elegant vault of the central span is framed on each side by a pair of narrower vaults. On both sides of the bridge are gate towers, the latest of which dates back to the XVI century. On the inner tower of the bridge there is a granite bas-relief with the coat of arms of the city, on the outer one there is a small statue of Archbishop St. Julian.
